HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Scientists across the country are racing to create new, more effective ― and easier ― COVID-19 tests. Among those in the development stages is Honolulu company Oceanit, which is working to create a prototype that tests spit for the virus.

They say it’s a game changer that could be ready by the fall.

1. Ya know,trump and Pence claim they are using a quick test

They claim WH staff, including them, get tested every day, and that all WH visitors are given a test when the come to the WH, the implication being that it is a fast test.


So why aren't we using that test ourselves?

2. Sounds great.

Fall is quickly approaching, but Sullivan says he's got a plan to offer cheap mass tests to local airports, schools and businesses.

I know that manufacturing capacity may be an issue, but here's hoping this could roll out to the general public as well.
